Chapter 396

Episode 396 Side Story 2: Battle of Heavenly Demons (5)

Jeok Yeon-hwa sighed with her eyes closed.

‘I’m dying of frustration.’

I can’t speak or move my body. The only thing possible is thought. I feel like I’m already dead and buried in the ground.

However, sometimes my senses open.

My eyes opened and I heard a sound, but it was only a feast of death and screams.

‘I said it was a heavenly horse.’

A man named Cheonma, who single-handedly defeated Dad and Geomhu, and his subordinates destroyed everything in front of them.

People with abilities, buildings, guilds, and even ordinary people without any abilities.

‘I wanted to stop it somehow...’

I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t bear to kill an incompetent person. I wanted to stop it at all costs, but I couldn’t even raise my voice.

‘Was that the Younghu guild?’

When he first opened his eyes, the Heavenly Demon shattered the signboard of the Yeonghu guild and erased all the buildings and people there.

Although I had been through many battlefields, this was the first time I had seen such a cruel scene.

‘Hmm...’

When I get depressed, I think of him again. No, to be honest, from the moment I came to my senses, the only thing I could think of was him.

‘I miss you.’

I missed Baek Woo-jin. Especially because I never thought something like this would happen at Geomggak, which I visited because I wanted to change.

‘Whoa...’

As I sighed in frustration, I could feel the strong scent of blood. I opened my eyes to the nauseating smell of blood and heard a sound.

Red.

Everything in sight was stained with blood. Did they say that blood flows like a river? I realized that it wasn’t nonsense.

Buildings were on fire and bodies with their heads and limbs cut off piled up in mountains.

He was at the center of it all.

Cheonma.

In his left hand, he held a plaque that read, “Cheonmu-maeng,” and in his right hand, he held the neck of Peng Ji-hu, the lord of Cheonmu-maeng.

“How are you alive...”

Lord Cheonmu’s eyes rolled back in fear.

“I went through hell to bite your head off.”

“Kwaaaak!”

The Cheonma said that and really ripped off the head of the Cheonmu lord. He stepped on Lord Cheonmu’s corpse, which was torn like paper, and headed inside.

Quaaaang!

The Heavenly Demon entered the inner part of Maengjujeon. I stared at the warehouse-like space closed with an iron door and kicked it.

“Aaaah!”

“Ugh!”

People’s cries and screams could be heard from behind the crumbling wall.

‘They’re not drones!’

They were not warriors of the Cheonmu Alliance, but incompetent people.

Gooooo!

But the Heavenly Demon did not stop. His blood-soaked hands moved toward the terrified people.

‘stop!’

I screamed until I vomited blood. But I didn’t listen. No one heard their own voice.

I couldn’t do anything, as if my body and soul were separated.

After killing those people, the Cheonma looked at himself. No, he saw a man named Zima who was locking him up.

‘Ah...’

I closed my eyes. I didn’t want to see or hear any more.

Just him. She wanted to see him and hear his voice, as he had now become so big to her.

‘Please save me...’

I was about to say, but my eyes suddenly opened.

okay. Even if it stays like this, Baek Woo-jin might save her someday. Because he is that kind of person.

‘But then it’s just the same as before.’

In order to change that kind of helpless self, I went to Geomgak and trained day and night.

I couldn’t do the same thing again.

‘Let’s get started. here.’

Red Yeonhwa gave strength to my fingers. It felt like nothing, like I was grasping empty space.

Still, I continued. I concentrated my mind to move my numb hands and feet. While drawing the person’s face.

**

Baek Woo-jin removed all the blood poison from the prosecutors and called Yoo Jin-ah.

“The people inside Geomgak were alive. However, it seems that Jeok Yeon-hwa is caught at the Gate of Destruction.”

[Why Yeonhwa? Could it be because of the prosecutor?]

“Probably.”

[Uhm....]

Yu Jin-ah let out a sigh, as if she hadn’t thought that Jeok Yeon-hwa would exist separately.

“Where is the Heavenly Demon now?”

[We have annihilated the Heavenly War League and are heading to Beijing.]

“Already?”

Not long after destroying the Younghu guild, it was an unbelievable speed to destroy the Cheonmu Alliance.

[The Gate of Destruction does not wait. We are advancing, destroying everything that stands in our way. The number of people killed by them has already exceeded a thousand!]

“Is it because of the Association that they are going to Beijing?”

[uh? Did you know? About their predecessor, Wongongmun?]

“I found out about it here.”

[Then the story will be quick. Destruction Moon is destroying not just the guild that attacked them, but everything belonging to the association. It doesn’t matter even to ordinary people. They are literally vengeful spirits.]

Because I saw the poisonous demon, I knew what the Gate of Destruction was like without having to say anything.

“What is the Chinese association doing?”

[It’s attracting people. The World Association and other guilds also sent support after hearing that they were attacking the general public.]

“Support?”

[yes. King Chang, who is close to the head of the family, and the talented people who follow him also headed to the Chinese Association.]

It seems that Hwang Byeong-hun and the talented people on the front line also went to the Association.

‘but.’

Byung-Hoon Hwang is a person who loves justice dearly. Even if there were circumstances, there was no way that a Heavenly Demon who attacked an incompetent person would look kind.

“Where is the medical school?”

[We are dispersed and chasing after the Gate of Destruction. They are safe because they are following my instructions from afar.]

“Please tell them to go to Beijing first. “We will go there right away.”

[I understand!]

Because the situation was urgent, Yoo Jin-ah hung up the phone right away instead of playing around like she usually did.

“This time it’s Beijing. “I will prepare.”

“Crazy people are turning the China tour into a massacre. Tsk tsk.”

Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek, who were listening to the phone call next to them, stood up.

“let’s go.”

Baek Woo-jin turned his back and went out to search. The two nodded and followed suit.

Geomhu and Jeokwijin leaned against the collapsed wall and watched them.

“Uhm....”

“Don’t worry.”

Geomhu tapped Jeok Wijin on the shoulder with a trembling hand.

“My benefactor has never broken a promise until now. “He will somehow save Yeonhwa and come back.”

Kwaaaaang!

Baek Woo-jin crossed the last door while hearing the sound of Auror clashing with Auror.

And I saw a light that seemed to cover the world.

**

Squishy!

Moon Ju-young frowned as he tightened his grip on the sword soldier.

‘It’s heavy...’

The guy named Thomas didn’t just have a big knife. The guy’s aura itself was incredibly heavy and strong. If I let my guard down even a little, I would have been crushed.

“You guys are going to stop me?”

Thomas grinned and grabbed the sword with both hands. The blue energy that surged from his heart melted the blood clots on the blade.

Quaaaaa!

Even though I was protecting myself with my sword, my skin was torn and blood was flowing down the back of my hand.

“If you stop us from taking revenge, I will cut down even a god.”

“I am not God.”

Moon Ju-young gritted his teeth and pushed the sword forward. I strengthened my legs and stretched out my arms with all my might.

Coo coo coo coo!

The blade of the chopping board, burning with strength, began to be pushed away.

“You!”

“I just carry out his orders!”

He screamed and compressed his sword cavity.

Kwaaaaang!

The cohesive Do-gang and Geom-gang exploded, and both he and Do-ma were pushed away at the same time. A huge cloud of sand and dust rose from the place of impact.

“Whoop!”

Just as Moon Ju-yeong was about to take his stance again, the sword struck him through the sandstorm. The wind-like attack contained the power of lightning.

Quaaaang!

Even though I defended myself with the center of the blade, my bones felt like they would be crushed. It was a powerful combination of strength and pleasure.

‘He’s definitely higher than me.’

Chopping was superior in all aspects of strength and pleasure, as well as the amount of time an Auror had trained in martial arts.

But I couldn’t lose like this.

Baek Woo-jin entrusted this place to himself. You have to go through it even if you have to die.

“Tsk!”

Moon Joo-young roughly bounced off the edge of the cutting board and bit his lip. I woke up with a dizzying pain.

‘Now that I think about it...’

As a child, Baek Woo-jin achieved a high level of skill with a sharp sword and a strong sword, but he abandoned them and used other swordsmanship techniques.

‘Softness overcomes strength, and slowness overcomes speed. There is compatibility in all swordsmanship in the world.’

While saying that, he started learning all the sword techniques that exist in the world. Of course, the person closest to him was himself the subject of his test.

At first I didn’t think so well. It’s difficult to learn just one, but can softness overcome strength? I thought that only happened in novels.

‘But no.’

Baek Woo-jin suppressed his own strong sword with a sword that even the Aurors did not use. He actually showed that softness can overcome hardness.

‘And now...’

“That’s barely enough!”

The sword came rushing in, swinging like a windmill.

“It’s my time!”

Moon Joo-young took a breath. I raised my sword against the storm-like attack.

Kiiiiing!

He raised the blade diagonally and let go of the barrage of attacks.

“Mmm!”

Thomas’ eyes were seen shaking.

‘Of course.’

It was natural to be surprised that he, who had only fought with a strong sword until now, suddenly used a soft sword.

“Now come and do your tricks!”

Thomas frowned and drew the sword horizontally. He twisted his sword towards the strong sword approaching, aiming for his neck.

Kwaaaaang!

Thomas’ sword went down the blade and hit the ground.

‘now!’

Moon Ju-young charged with his sword resting on its middle finger.

Kyaang!

He fired a sword strike at the chest of Doma, who was retrieving the sword.

“Whoosh!”

Doma was unable to control his collapsed posture and groaned as he blocked the sword strike with the side instead of the center of the sword.

Now is your chance. Now that Doma is off balance, you must attack with all your might.

“dare!”

Thomas gave up defense. The sword was raised to the top, allowing a sword strike to the side.

Gooooooo!

A powerful energy that made his whole body tremble gathered in his sword.

“What a fly! “Get lost!”

The terrifying power of the slash that struck me made my skin burst and I felt sick as if I was going to vomit.

“Whoosh!”

Moon Ju-young did not retreat even though he was vomiting blood due to internal injuries. Now was the time to win.

Cheeeeee!

I raised my sword.

I saw the martial arts of the best man in the world and felt the sword of the best man in the world. I couldn’t fall down here with him like that in front of me.

Wooooow!

When the sword is raised, a different crowd is seen than before.

River, Kwae, and Yu and Temple. The incongruous swordsmanship thawed the frozen bud and made a flower bloom.

Quaaaaa!

The Geomgang, which achieved harmony in nothingness, and the strong and heavy Dogang collided, creating a huge light explosion.

“Wow!”

Moon Ju-young grabbed his chest and stepped back, but Doma did not move from his spot.

“What is the name of that sword?”

Thomas’ mouth opened very slowly.

“I do not know. “I just wanted to follow Him.”

“Is it Tokyo?”

A sneer forms on his lips. However, it was not directed at him, but towards himself.

“I thought I couldn’t keep up with him, but you and I are similar yet different... Wow!”

A frightening amount of blood spurted out from Thomas’ chest.

“Yes... it’s a victory. good.”

With those words, he let go and walked backwards.

“Whoop!” “Huh!”

Moon Ju-young drove his sword into the ground and took a deep breath.

‘The paths were different...’

Thomas admired Cheonma just as he admired Baek Woo-jin. However, it seems that the paths each pursued were different.

“Ugh.”

He looked in the direction Baek Woo-jin was facing and gently bit his molars.

“I’ll be there soon.”
